Disabling windows 11 Microsoft account sign in

Hello, how do I go about disabling the Microsoft require sing in account activation bs? I’ve tried turning off the internet and it doesn’t work. Any idea on how to go about it? Is there a regestry hack I can do?

Not sure what you mean if you can post a screenshot of you problem.

If you are trying to install Windows 11 without a MS account, visit the website in the link below.


If that's not what you were trying to do, post back with more clarification.

It's not clear what you are asking. Do you mean the the requirement when first setting up Windows 11 to use a Microsoft account as the first account?

If you have already set up your Windows with an MS account, then it's simply a matter of creating a new local account and making it an administrator. Then you can use that account instead. Or you could just switch your MS account to a local account.


If you have not yet set up your Windows, then see this post:

You can follow the steps in the tutorials below to set up a local account during the clean install or reset of Windows 11.



If you already have Windows 11 set up with your Microsoft account, then you can use the tutorial below to switch it to a local account as Bree posted above.
